The crazed Dean speech was one thing, but I'm starting to have grave concerns about the President. Here's a partial transcript:
Remarks by the President to the Press Pool
Plenty O' Ribs Cafe
Area 51, Roswell, New Mexico
11:25 A.M. MST
THE PRESIDENT: I need some ribs, goddammit.
Q: Mr. President, how are you?
THE PRESIDENT: Shut the fuck up, you gadfly. I'm hungry and I'm going to order some ribs, Laura be damned. I ran six miles today and eviscerated the Bill of Rights a little more. I earned my ribs, don't you think?
Q: What would you like?
THE PRESIDENT: What do you think I'd like? Ribs. What does a man do in a cafe but order ribs? Do you have any real questions?
Q: Sir, on homeland security, critics say you simply haven't spent enough to keep this country secure.
THE PRESIDENT: My job is to dry hump this nation. I'm riding bareback, my friend. Who cares about jobs? Who cares about the economy? Who gives a flying fuck about the deficit? We need a space program resembling a really bad Brian De Palma film. But right now I'm here to take somebody's order. That would be you, Rubber Band Man -- what would you like? Stop pestering me with questions and start eating, son. You're looking a bit thin. Have you been drinking? I drank once, but then daddy bailed me out. Put some of that meager money on the table like a man. This is all about consumer confidence. I don't care how little they pay you over at the State-Ledger. This is how the economy grows. Max out your credit cards, jeopardize the state budgets. It drives the economy forward. And, no, don't quote Paul Krugman, you twerp. I've had enough of that whiny little bitch. So what would you like to eat?
Q: Right behind you, whatever you order.
THE PRESIDENT: I'm ordering ribs, goddammit. Do you know about unilateral decisions? Well, this is how it works, David, I'm going to order a rib for you and you're going to eat it. And I'm not going to leave until you nibble that sucker down to the bone.
Q: But, Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: No buts, David. This isn't a press conference. This is about understanding how ribs work. It's a bad metaphor, but I'm not leaving until you understand it, son. Do you hear?
Bush is a holocaust waiting to happen.

It's embarassing having a president like this.
